Here's my take. Both Cabrera and Peralta are having All-Star seasons, and they both deserve to be in the game (I voted for Cabrera). On the other hand, it is an all-STAR game, and, whether you like or not, Derek Jeter is the biggest star in the biggest market. The fans voted for him; the fans wanted to see him; and the fans got what they wanted.
P.S. A lot of people are forgetting this. Jeter might not even PLAY in the game because he doesn't want to risk re-injuring himself. And if that happens, Cabrera would be promoted to starter, Peralta would be added as a sub, and the Earth would rotate again.
